The Haunted Museum

I loved the first episode. It was scary enough, and I was excited to watch the next episode. But I'm on episode 3, "Chair of the Beast." I can't help but to notice so many similarities to, "The Devil Made me do it." A boy visiting a house his sister and boyfriend are looking to rent. A demon coming from a well, possessing a boy. The old man talking to the boy. The writer could have made a whole new story.

Had VERY low expectations going into this, normally anything related to Ghost Adventures is overly cheap and flashy. The first two episodes were surprisingly subtle and paced very well. Some of the acting falls apart in episode 3, and we skipped the fourth episode because everything connected to the Manson murders is overdone.

It's not perfect by any means, but it is a nice change from quick jump scares that are the crutch of so many short horror productions. The first two episodes especially used very effective visuals and were very creepy, not just for what was shown but also what was not shown. Worth the 30-40 minute watch times at least.

Can someone please tell me what movie clips are shown on the intro to this show? My guess they are old silent films but any ideas on what they may be?

These early ratings must all be the Ghost Adventures cast. Everything about this is terrible. It's not scary, the acting is awful, the directing is awful, the color saturation is awful. The episodes are super slow for the first 30 minutes and then there's with no payoff in the last 8 minutes. Stories are VERY loosely based on the items described. Eli Roth has his name attached but doesn't direct or write any of the episodes. I was super excited for this and it's just godawful.

I have to say I was so excited to see that Zac and Eli had teamed up. The horror king and the prince of spooky! How could it have been so bad then? Honestly, it boils down to the actors.

I'm so sorry that they weren't better, because these stories are interesting and with an element of 'real' to them (meaning they exist and you can visit them) , I'd have been far more impressed if the casting had been right.

I tried SO hard to look past it but they are telling your story guys, they ruined it for you and sadly you're held accountable because you cast them- you have the final say.

Bigger budget next time, get properly trained actors who don't sound and look like they are performing a child's nativity.
